For years the inhabitants of Mani,
toba have hoped against hope that a
feasible route might be found through
Hudson's Bay for at least part OF
the year, so that they would not be
wholly dependent upon railroad com.
munication for freights. The adven.
lures OF the whaling ship Alexander,
however, throw a child upon any
project which depends upon navieat
ing Hudson's Bay. That vessel ar.
rived in New Bedford: having spent a
year frozen in Hudson's Bay. She
entered that water August 3, 1886.
Five days later she was caught in the
ice and so remained. with the excep-
ton OF few days the past summer,
and only escaped August "a just

Bay was open from July 1 to October

LOVES SECRET.

Each heart doth know it's secret shrine.
Where sweet flowers bloom that give no
sign
OF sun or dew; with sweet desire
The buds were stirred that glowed with
fire
And thrilled Will, life, and 80 bloom came,
Hope-lit and glowing-like loves flame!
Fond hands will nourish these fair flowers
That grow to life in secret hours,
As in dark paths all travel.worn.
Where hearts grow faint with burdens
And desolate, they glow and eleam,
Though sealed to shadows-like loves
And 50 sweetheart. thy life to mime
Was sealed! my soul went forth to thine,
Like the flowers that bloom untaught,
When love had come to US unsought,
Alas, 50 late! and vet so long
Its music lingers-like love- song!
The flowers may pale with sweet desire,
And love may swoon OF loves mad fire,
Yet as lilo. on thy breast.
My soul uplifted in loves rest.
do not see the darker path
That each lone life Of sorrow hath!
Complete with love, sweetheart, loves
In secret glows-love knows it's sign!

Encouraged by the notices emanatine

American Union settled upon the lands
above mentioned. In 1885 the settlers
petitioned you to quiet, ii possible, any

made an order by which 1900
